Ep. 467 The Hard Truth About Lasting Health: It Takes Longer Than You Think

What if nothing is “wrong”… it’s just not finished yet?

If you’ve been showing up, doing the right things, choosing wisdom—and still wondering why the results feel invisible—this episode is for you.

Today’s Patient Potty is all about patience as a skill, not a personality trait. We talk about why real, lasting change often looks painfully slow at first—and how God, nature, and even our own bodies are wired for long games, not instant wins.

We open with Scripture on endurance and hope, then zoom out to powerful reminders from history and nature: bamboo that grows roots for years before shooting up overnight, sequoias that take centuries to tower, fruit trees that refuse to be rushed.

Along the way, we share real-life “slow mastery” stories—strength training that finally pays off in real moments, metabolism changes you can’t see day-to-day, learning singular focus, navigating the fine line between help and control in marriage, and the quiet confidence that comes from staying planted.

And yes… we also have huge news in a small package:
Seven Skills to Lasting Health is officially available for pre-order—a short, doable THM primer designed to make consistency feel possible again. Pre-order bonuses include 7 mini-podcasts and professionally filmed recipe videos to help you start right away.If you’ve been tempted to quit because progress feels slow, this episode is your reminder:
The harvest doesn’t come early—but it always comes on time. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s discouraged, and keep going.
You’re not behind—you’re building roots.
